Almost seven years ago, in 2008, I lost 50 pounds when I began my Ayurvedic journey. Every few years I gain back about 7 – 10 pounds during the winter and lose them again in the spring. While I do find that a bit annoying, I am so proud that I’ve been able to keep off the bulk (so to speak!) of the weight all these years!

So this year I decided to share my Spring Journey with you. I have the tools. I have the knowledge. I have the will. Join me! I want to gather a small group of people together who are determined and willing to trust the Ayurvedic process, and hopefully, this will jump-start you on your path to Perfect Health.

Class ONE: We begin each class with an invigorating walk, then settle into a guided meditation to help us determine and focus on our goals. After a talk on the Ayurvedic weight loss process, we’ll cook up a meal together and talk about a weekly menu. I will also give instruction on creating your personal daily Ayurvedic routine – one that will fit your lifestyle.

Class TWO builds on what we have learned in Class ONE, in addition to creating a more detailed menu based on your needs, we will go deeper into the principles of Ayurveda and we’ll talk about herbs, spices and oils that support weight loss. And of course we will cook!

Class THREE - Shopping! We will meet at a local market and also visit an Indian grocer so you can see how to continue the process on your own! I’ll give you a guided tour and offer more recipes so you can see how to use the ingredients.

You will learn how to make several Ayurvedic weight-loss dishes, discover what foods to choose and what to avoid –and why! We will also make juices and teas – all this you will easily be able to recreate on your own. We will have time for discussion, questions, suggestions and group support. I will also create our own PRIVATE Facebook page where you can chat with your group and keep up the good work! I’ll moderate the page and help you find solutions as you move forward.

All this for $55 a class! The total of $165 is due at registration and is non-refundable. Classes held at Susan’s Kitchen, 20 Clarks Lane, Reisterstown. SPACE IS LIMITED.

The following is a class by class description of the Chopra Center for Well Being’s five week program. Interwoven into each class is my personal experience with my Ayurvedic journey as well as things I’ve learned from my students and other Ayurvedic practitioners and teachers over the past 7 years.

The Perfect Health course offers a five-step exploration of mind-body medicine and Ayurveda. The course is designed for the general public who have had little or no previous understanding of these concepts as well as those who want to deepen their knowledge and learn more about incorporating Ayurveda into their daily routine. Each of the five lessons includes instruction in the practical tools and techniques of mind-body medicine that participants can immediately begin using in their daily lives.

Tuesday, April 7, 6:30 pm – 9 pm Session One: Susan will introduce you to the foundational principles of Ayurveda, meditation, and yoga as well as the three primary mind-body doshas or personalities: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Through an in-depth questionnaire and analysis, you’ll discover your own dosha type.

Tuesday, April 14, 6:30 pm – 9 pm Session Two: In this session on “Food as Medicine,” you will learn how to select the most nourishing foods for your mind-body type. Susan will also guide you in Ayurvedic nutritional practices that will help you maintain vibrant health, appropriate weight, and optimized digestion.

Tuesday, April 21, 6:30 pm – 9 pm Session Three: This session focuses on the tools and practices of rejuvenation and renewal. You’ll learn how to identify and eliminate toxins that accumulate in the mind and body. In addition, you will be guided in gentle rejuvenating practices, holistic techniques to relieve stress and anxiety, a personal daily routine for balance and health, and the secrets of restful sleep.

Tuesday, April 28, 6:30 pm – 9 pm Session Four: Tonight you will learn why emotional freedom is the key to our physical, mental, and emotional health. Susan will teach you the practice of conscious communication, which can transform your relationships and help you experience more intimacy and joy in your life.

Tuesday, May 5, 6:30 pm – 9 pm Session Five: The final session delves into the healing power of the five senses: sound, touch, sight, taste, and smell. You’ll learn how to strengthen the body’s inner pharmacy by using specific tools that use each of the senses to heal, nourish, and balance your mind-body.

Susan has been teaching this class since 2008 and hundreds of students of experienced the life-changing powers of Ayurveda. You can too!!

Learning manners really can be fun! In this camp children will learn important social skills like greeting people, eye contact, making conversation, being a good host and guest and of course, table manners. In addition, your child will learn how to make some healthy, delicious food items to place on the table! Vegetarian cooking teacher and former breathe bookstore cafe owner, Susan Weis-Bohlen, will teach your children how to create meals that are not only easy to make, but also incredibly nutritious and yummy. Using seasonal foods, we will make a vegetable juice, savory cheese muffins, a grain and veggie dish and a green salad. After setting the table we will all sit down to a meal together using our manners, mindfulness and kindness techniques!

Any leftovers will be sent home for you to enjoy! Recipes will also be provided. This will be a hands-on class that teaches basic cooking skills as well as age appropriate manners. The class will make food to enjoy in class. In addition the students will learn how to greet others, make conversation, behave in public places, and how to eat and behave at the table, among other so very important social skills. Your kids will make vegetable fruit juice, savory muffins, a grain dish and a dessert.

All while learning how to work together with kindness and good manners. And FUN!
